Wine Details
Pours a beautiful translucent dark cherry in the glass, with that unique Italian terroir on the nose showcasing cherries, tar, wet earth, and a bit of barrel influence to round it all out. Having benefited from plenty of bottle aging, the palate is rich, refined, and balanced between oak, sour cherries, medium acidity, and soft (almost velvety) tannins. The finish is clean and long with cherries, new leather, and fresh turned soils.

Sourced from one of the most renowned and venerated wine-growing districts in the world. Low yields per vine are required to obtain good sugar levels, intense color, and the fullest flavor extraction. Traditional fermentation is followed by malolactic fermentation and then laid to rest for 4 years of aging (hence the Riserva moniker; non-Riserva Barbaresco requires 2 years). From the best south-facing slopes in Barbaresco and with a good bit of barrel and bottle aging, Lot 692 is an Italian masterpiece.

Outstanding Customer Service!
I bought 2 bottles of this wine with high hopes. The first bottle was undrinkable. The cork was shot and the wine far past it's glory. The stellar team at Cameron Hughes were great when I reported the upsetting news to them. I could not be more impressed with their excellent customer service. PS - ( I have yet to open the second bottle. Fingers crossed)

Good value
It is probably my fault But I didn't think much of this wine. I opened and drank it right away. I think I probably should have let is air out some. I am sure it would have been much better if I did so

Wow.
I too had it with steak. Grand old wine. Dusty brick color matches the profile. Faded tannins but able to stand up to the food. Lovely on its own after. Not a fruit forward smack you upside the head California cab. Not a make your mouth pucker and dry nebbiolo.
Love it. Have to find coin for more.

Elegant!
Decant for a couple of hours and serve at 62 F. It paired really well with a steak. I guess it would go with any beef dish. Dry, balanced tannins, and a really good finish.
